Inverness to Kyle Kyle Stationmaster's House

The settlement at Lochalsh was literally a just handful of dwellings when the Skye line was extended there between 1893 and 1897, so the Highland Railway built new houses for its staff. The Stationmaster's was the most imposing, as befiitted the man who was responsible for the sizeable operation at the end of the line, though an almost identical structure was also built for the Stationmaster at Plockton, an altogether smaller affair.

There's a very similar building on the road between Kyle and Erbusaig, which one local pointed out to me as originally being a railway house, though I've not found any documentary proof of this yet. Finally, Dingwall, on the opposite coast, has a Station House to a closely related pattern, too, though none of these others can match Kyle's position, on a rock outcrop above the pier, with commanding views not only of the station and its eastern yard, but also across the water to Skye. It still stands, though with newer buildings around it, and its original stonework now obscured by a coating of a light cream resin paint.

The model has nightmode and uses normal mapping for extra 3D texturing, thanks to PEV's invaluable software.
